SpongeBob SquarePants: The Cosmic Shake Review
2,595SpongeBob SquarePants: The Cosmic Shake reviewed by Travis Northup on Xbox Series X|S, also available on Xbox One, PlayStation, PC, and Nintendo Switch.
This long-awaited follow-up to Battle for Bikini Bottom is a simple, unambitious 3D platformer that pales in comparison to its peers in every way besides all the charm and humor it borrows from the iconic show. Whether it’s the incredibly basic jumping and swinging that becomes irksomely repetitive within minutes, or the humdrum combat that has you mopping up the same handful of enemies hundreds of times without anything to meaningfully differentiate the first battle from the last, Cosmic Shake badly lacks the imagination and creativity for which the show is known. The original cast’s voice performances and silly gags are certainly a highlight, but if you were hoping for something akin to Super Mario Odyssey in a pineapple under the sea, sadly this falls far short.
